Next fall, the Frick will present three Manet canvases from the collection of the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. As three distinct views of the artist’s life and work, the canvases demonstrate the range of Manet’s pioneering vision: Still Life with Fish and Shrimp (1864) focuses attention on the paint itself; The Ragpicker (ca. 1865–71; possibly reworked in 1876) highlights the artist’s engagement with art history and contemporary visual culture; and Madame Manet (ca. 1876) prompts consideration of his biography. Manet from the Norton Simon Museum is the seventh in a series of acclaimed reciprocal loans between the Norton Simon Museum and The Frick Collection. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue are organized and written by Assistant Curator David Pullins.

Major support for the exhibition is provided by Margot and Jerry Bogert and Barbara and Brad Evans. Additional funding is generously provided by Kathleen and Martin Feldstein and Jeanine Parisier Plottel and Roland Plottel.
